SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
View MorePlot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
View MoreExcellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
View MoreThis movie is truly what should,can and is called a sleeper, 5 minutes into this garbage I was fast asleep! After waking up and realizing I missed the movie I tried to watch it again with the same well rested results. I would not recommend this snorefest to my worst enemy although I would recommend it as a potential cure for insomnia. the acting if you can call it that was grade school, the music must have been made by the writer/director of boring flick and yes the soundtrack was as horrible as the whole movie. I can't for the life of me understand how some of the people that reviewed this waste of videotape found it amusing , scary or charming, I found it just boring, boring and just boring I guess those who gave this a positive review must be family members of the actors or had something to do with the making of this crap with a capitol "C".
View MoreYou guessed it kids, it's a low budget American horror comedy that desperately wants to be The Evil Dead. It isn't, but nor is it terrible. Yes, the dialogue is clunky (and that's being kind), and yes the acting fluctuates between very bad and truly appalling, but if that's why you watch movies you probably won't be reading a review of a movie called Ancient Evil 2 anyway. These kind of movies succeed, not because they could be made, but because they WERE when perhaps it was too much to ask. It's the ambition that I love. Well, we've only got £400 left, and we still need to make our Egyptian Mummy beast. It's this 'we don't give a damn if it looks a bit shoddy' attitude that really adds charm. Ultimately then, a genuine Z-grade horror comedy, that you might find surprisingly enjoyable.
View MoreI caught this little honey on DVD last night, at three AM, working third shift in the basement of the hospital...the perfect place, in other words, to check out fast-and-dirty, balls-out, low-budget, whacked-out horror feast.This is the first movie I've seen by whoever D.W. Kann is, but it's not gonna be the last. Kann & Co. drive ANUBIS like a kid's first car, a five-speed deathtrap built out of dynamite and chicken wire. It's got cracked headlights, fenders falling off, and the windshield wipers flipping in every direction -- but it's also painted day-glo red, the Spark-o-Matic's cranked to eleven and there's enough firepower in the trunk to send the whole enterprise halfway to Pluto. And although there are moments when you think whoever's in charge of this thing must be high on glue or steering with their feet, the responsible parties rocket the action forward with the dead-on instincts and passion of somebody who's watched a ton of movies, loves 'em with all their heart and knows what works and what doesn't. Mix it all together with the screwball comedic elements that had me snuffing up my Coke Zero more than once, and you've got raw, uncooked brilliance.In DANSE MACABRE, Stephen King talks about how true horror fans ought to be patient when it comes to the breed of movies they love -- or moments they love in movies that might not be altogether successful. Is ANUBIS perfect? Not by any stretch of the imagination. Is there enough octane here to get your rocks off for an hour and a half? Abso-freakin'-lutely.
View MoreThis is one of those pure schlock movies that might be fun with a bunch of sharp witted friends. You could watch it and everyone would make funny comments, resulting in general hilarity. The only problem with this scenario is anyone with any wit at all would shortly tape down the fast forward on the controller.There are no spoilers in this one. It manages to do that all by itself. A bunch of kids and some heavily stereotyped rural folk run up against a monster from Egypt in the woods. At least it doesn't appear to take itself too seriously, with dialog punctuated by silliness and absurdity. Wink wink, nod nod, we know this is pathetic too.The best part of the movie is Noel Francomano who plays the wigged out goth chick so well that she manages to be funny, creepy, and hot all at the same time. I'd like to see her in a real movie. The guys all remind you of someone you went to college or high school with that came to a party and never left -- the one you find passed out behind your sofa the next day moaning and complaining: "Where's my jacket man...".Enuff said. Short of a casual gathering, passing the time making jokes scenario, leave this one on the shelf.
